Midnight is a study in the courage of three women - Jane Austen, Mary Shelley, and Joan of Arc. Jane Austen was poor in 1802, unmarried and homeless. She had outlines, ideas, and first drafts of her future novels but no place to sit and write them. Then she receives an offer of marriage from a rich man. When 16-year-old Mary Godwin elopes to France with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley, she scoffs at the cost - life as an outcast. Joan of Arc, imprisoned in chains, kept her faith for a long year.
